Accessible Gardening Services in Wanstead

This accessibility statement explains how we approach accessibility for our site, the standards we aim to meet, and the practical features we provide to support people with disabilities. We aim to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level so that content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for a wide range of users.

Our approach to accessibility combines technical measures with ongoing review. We use semantic HTML, clear headings, and structured content to help assistive technology and screen readers interpret pages accurately. We test pages with popular screen readers and include ARIA attributes where they add clarity. Where possible, we provide text alternatives for non-text content, ensure logical reading order, and design pages that work well with browser zoom and text size adjustments.
